Day 38 of the Omer - higher and lower balance
Tiferet in Yesod - lofty balance of principles in the grounded balance of applications.
Keeping high minded ideas of balance and beauty as guides while in the thick of crafting the basics almost requires some cognitive dissonance.
Still, the two notions - a balance between intellectual concepts of beauty and a sturdy balance grounded in connecting to actually creating - fortify each other.
We aim to dig trenches that eventually lead to beautiful structures. All of this in the hope of fulfilling ideals balanced between other important values.
Including everything takes patience and attention - include some counting too!
